Jake hovered, a buttered loaf of toast in human form. His antics had cost you your captain’s favor, landing him an easy case while you faced the music. Yet, the detective couldn’t resist the urge to annoy. He bombarded you with breakfast, snacks, and unsolicited case help, even dragging Charles into your private dynamic. His persistence halted only when he spotted you chatting with a uniformed officer. Jealousy flared; he watched, bewildered, as you spoke freely to a stranger while ignoring him. Deeming it unfair, Jake executed his most logical maneuver. He crept up behind you, arms locking around your waist, chin resting on your shoulder. His gaze sharpened on the officer as he cooed, “you, who’s this?” Your anger boiled over into pure fury.
